Choose Your Cover Fabric
7 oz. Polyester — Our entry-level marine cover fabric, woven from 100% polyester fiber at a 7 oz. per linear yard weight. This lighter option keeps the cover manageable for solo handling while still delivering reliable protection against sun, rain, and debris. Backed by a 3-year fabric warranty. Ships in Black.
9 oz. Polyester — Step up to our heavy-duty polyester, engineered at 9 oz. per linear yard for boats that face tougher conditions or extended outdoor storage. The denser weave adds an extra layer of defense against abrasion and weather without adding unnecessary bulk. Protected by a 5-year fabric warranty. Ships in Navy or Black.
Sunbrella® — For boaters who want the best, our Sunbrella covers use 100% solution-dyed acrylic — the same fabric trusted by marine professionals worldwide. Naturally resistant to fading, mold, and water damage, Sunbrella holds its color and integrity season after season. Covered by a 6-year fabric warranty. Ships in Black, Smoke, or Marine Blue.
Both polyester options feature solution-dyed construction, where pigment is infused into each fiber during production rather than applied to the surface afterward. This process locks color deep into the material, preventing any dye transfer to your boat’s gel coat or finish. The result is a cover that stays vibrant without bleeding or rubbing off. Our polyester is also designed to breathe — it allows moisture trapped underneath to vent out naturally, reducing the risk of mildew and keeping your boat dry. The fabric holds its form without sagging or stretching over time, stays lightweight enough for one person to handle, and stands up to prolonged UV exposure and harsh marine weather.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Scout 177 Sport is one of the lightest boats in Scout's lineup at approximately 1,000 lbs dry — making it exceptionally easy to trailer, launch, and retrieve. Built on Scout's NuV3 triple-stepped hull at 17'7" with a 7'3" beam, the 177 Sport pairs that featherweight construction with up to 115 HP for spirited performance on the water. The 13-degree deadrise provides a stable platform for fishing and cruising in protected and nearshore waters.
The 177 Sport and 175 Sport are built on different hull platforms. The 177 Sport is 17'7" with a 7'3" beam and ~1,000 lbs dry, while the 175 Sport is 17'5" with a 7'5" beam and ~1,310 lbs. The 177 Sport accepts up to 115 HP versus the 175 Sport's 90 HP max. Despite similar lengths, these are distinct boats with different deck layouts, performance characteristics, and cover patterns.
Yes. Our cover is patterned specifically for the 177 Sport's deck layout, console position, rod holders, and hardware. We do not use generic 17-foot patterns — every Scout model gets a model-specific pattern that accounts for the exact hardware positions and contours of that boat.
No. At ~1,000 lbs, the 177 Sport is light, but the hull is fully reinforced with foam-filled construction and Scout's NuV3 engineering. Our cover's tie-down system distributes tension evenly across the rubrail and does not create stress points on the hull or hardware during highway trailering.
The 177 Sport's 20-gallon tank and efficient NuV3 hull provide solid range for inshore and nearshore fishing. The lightweight hull and stepped design maximize fuel economy, stretching those 20 gallons further than heavier boats would. Between trips, a custom cover protects the fuel fill, vents, and deck hardware from corrosion.
The 177 Sport's 7'3" beam is slightly narrower than the 175 platform's 7'5" beam. Our pattern accounts for this precisely — the cover is cut to the 177 Sport's exact width, providing the right tension and drape without the slack that would result from using a wider pattern.
Complete coverage includes the console, leaning post, rod holders, seating, bow area, all deck hardware, and the engine cowling. The cover extends past the transom for full protection of every exposed component.
Yes. The 177 Sport's compact size means the cover folds into a manageable bundle that fits in a boat locker, garage shelf, or the included storage bag. Fold loosely to avoid permanent creases, and shake out before reinstalling.
Our pattern accounts for the 177 Sport's transom profile and engine well dimensions, including outboards up to the 115 HP maximum rating. The cover drapes naturally over the stern area regardless of engine trim position, providing full cowling protection.
Every Perfect Fit cover includes our satisfaction guarantee and fabric warranty — 5–7 years for solution-dyed marine fabric, 8–10 years for Sunbrella acrylic. We also offer free pattern adjustments if your 177 Sport has aftermarket modifications that affect fit.
Scout 177 Sport Center Console Boat Cover
The Scout 177 Sport is one of the lightest center consoles in the Scout lineup — a 17’7″ boat weighing approximately 1,000 lbs dry that combines nimble handling with up to 115 HP for a performance-to-weight ratio that makes it a standout in its class. Built on Scout’s NuV3 triple-stepped hull with foam-filled flotation, the 177 Sport features a 7’3″ beam, 20-gallon fuel capacity, and a 13-degree deadrise that provides stability for inshore fishing and nearshore cruising. Scout’s Summerville, South Carolina craftsmanship delivers a hull that launches easily, runs dry, and stores on virtually any trailer.
A Perfect Fit custom center console cover protects the 177 Sport’s console, rod holders, seating, electronics, and deck hardware from UV degradation and salt corrosion. Our solution-dyed marine fabric (or premium Sunbrella acrylic) is patterned to the 177 Sport’s exact hull dimensions and deck layout, delivering a model-specific fit that sheds water and resists wind flutter. Reinforced stitching and adjustable tie-down straps keep the cover locked down during trailering, dock storage, or marina mooring.
Lightweight Performance, Full Protection
The 177 Sport’s ~1,000 lb dry weight makes it one of the easiest Scout models to tow, launch, and retrieve — a practical advantage for anglers who fish multiple ramps and locations. The NuV3 triple-stepped hull maximizes the 115 HP engine rating, delivering fast hole shots and impressive fuel economy from the compact 20-gallon tank. Despite its light weight, the foam-filled hull provides unsinkable flotation and the structural rigidity needed for rough water. Protecting that lightweight, high-performance package with a custom cover preserves the gel coat, hardware, and electronics — maintaining both the boat’s performance edge and its resale value.
